So stressed lately and overwhelmed!

I was just speaking to DCgirl about this so I know I'm not alone but I just feel for the first time in my life I'm so unorganized, overwhelmed, uptight, tired and have absolutely no motivation to do anything. Only thing I keep up is my work-outs which I thought would give me energy and eating right.

It's just upsetting because when someone texts me or rights on my facebook page...4 months to go...ugh!!! I want to vommit all over my desk...

I wonder if I should get some xanex or something for the next 4 months cause if I'm like this now what in the hell am I going to be like a month a way or even the day of?

So not myself!!!

noooo!!!!!!! you are so not alone in this.... you have a wonderful support system HERE right on LIW!!!!!!!!!

I know its overwhelming.... but somehow it all works out!!!!!!

Kristie you are so not alone xoxoxox I feel this way right now. The only thing that is keeping me sane is WW and the gym. Go figure that one out I get home I know I have all this stuff to work on like my online classes and all my final wedding details but all i want to do is go and sit in front of the TV. Its horrible and sometimes I actually cry because I am super overwhelmed and its not like I have a MOH who will sit with me and gove over stuff. She doesnt want to be bothered (got to love sisters). And then I dont want to overwhelm anyone else with stuff. I am so happpy that FH said if I give him something to work on he will help me since I almost had a breakdown about my course load this semster.

Oh my goodness Kim...I feel so selfish you have so much more on your plate and here I am complaining...how are you dealing with school on top of this????

I just have never felt this way...and I really don't know what to do about it. When I was depressed once over a stupid break-up I went and did acupunture and it completely cured me cause I didn't want to go on anti-depressants at all...maybe I should try acupunture again but thing is it's so expensive...ugh! Listen you are coming up soon if you need help with anything please I will help you, it will get my mind off of my stuff...I think I would enjoy doing things for other brides than myself. Thank you love!

Were the same day and i feel the same way!!! The weather i dont think has berm helping much

Im in my last semester of grad school and working on my thesis which is due 2 weeks before our wedding date!

Way ive been handling it is to do a little bit at a time i looked at that big to do list on here yesterday and was amazed how much ive done

ummm I have no idea how I am going to do work this semster since I have an English Lit class and he wants an essay EVERY WEEK!!! I cant write to save my life omg. I havent even started reading for my one class. I just have to get get into a routine and it will work thank god its only really like a month worth of class that Ill be crazy and then it should be good after the wedding.

If you need to talk Im here <3

I'm totally with you. I look at the girls that are getting married 4 months after me and think jeeze they already have so much done and look at me with still so much to do. You just gottta keep telling urself everything will fall into place. That's what I'm trying to do but it's hard. I am also a complete B**** all the time now and honestly can say planning this entire wedding has not been enjoyable. From the beginning when people had issues with when and where we got married all the way down to FH and I not agreeing on where to go for our HM.

Ya just gotta think about the good things like how beautiful your gonna look on our wedding day and how happy things will be.

Hey
First of all...

I know EXACTLY what you're going through. I had to take a few months off from planning because I was going insane. I was making myself sick and I'm already dealing with depression as it is. It did me (us) a lot of good. Fh and I felt much better about picking things right up this month. Now we are on turbo mode and are so excited about the wedding!

I'm really happy this site exists so we can vent and share our experiences. I know you will get through this. Wedding planning is not easy and can def. get overwhelming. It's okay for you to feel the way you do. Your day is going to be just as lovely as you are. I promise. and I NEVER break my promises ;)

This exactly.... it's also starting to get frustrating because I think of all the stuff I have left to do, and it's all going to be over in a day. Like, you get one shot and no matter how much you prepare there could be some massive uncontrollable event that screws up the whole thing...

I know everyone says it's not about the day, it's about the rest of your life, and that's true... but it's a lot more draining planning the day than it has been planning our life together!!

Not happy that others are stressed, too, but I'm very glad I found LIW or else there's no telling how much worse I'd be! Thank you ladies for sharing what you're going through!

This is why I LOVE THIS SITE. Because I thought I was feeling the same way and I didn't want to say anything. My wedding is in 77 days and I have so much to do like, officiant, menu, programs, place cards, etccccc Last night, I was suppose to prepare my invitations to send them out this weekend, but I just don't have NO energy. Like the previous brides said, there is a great support system on this site, and they always can make anyone feel better. But is very overwhelming because you want everything to go right,

If it's any advice I can give, it would be to NOT STRESS THE SMALL THINGS! I have 8 days to go and I have to say for the most part, I have been trying to stick to this motto. I hear of so many horror stories regarding wedding planning and I vowed to not become a crazy bridezilla. Sure, I would have preferred to make programs, cry packs, bathroom baskets etc etc, but it all seems so small in comparison with the more important things on my plate.

So try not to overwhelm yourself with more and more things to do because I know it is very easy to try to feel like wonderwoman and do everything !

Just remember the reason why you are marrying your fiance and what that means to the both of you - that's the most important thing to remember through this whole process.

That is great advice!!!! It puts everything into perspective....

Actually, I kept having panic attacks and I am someone that can typically juggle everything VERY well (I went to grad school full time while working full time AND TAed a class)

I got xanax AND went on Lexipro in January, and it has definitely helped

You're definitely not alone! I would take a break - as long as you can, and just take some time for yourself. Even if it's just one night, going to get a mani and pedi, eating some popcorn and watching re-runs of Sex and the City, that sometimes does the trick.

I've been very stressed (due to work) the past two weeks, and I took the day off today, and after coming back from the gym I've just been watching Mrs. Doubtfire and not really doing anything. It really does help.
